    Plane down off of Cape May, NJ

    Hits close to home. I have no idea who the pilot is, but I have used this school, rented these planes (not the one lost), and used the shop. The airport is about 10 minutes from my house. https://www.nj.com/cape-may-county/2019/05/small-plane-crashes-off-coast-of-cape-may.html Sent from my...

    T storms and flight planning. What level is too high for you?

    I am a newly minted IFR pilot, and am planning my first trip that may include some IMC based on longer range forcasts (3 days out right now). I am very conservative at this point with my personal minimums. So three days out my departure area looks good, and my arrival area is predicting partly...

    Why we do not have electric planes yet. A video.

    Kinda a cool video which explains a lot about what the obstacles are. What the math is. And why we do see some small electrics planes.

    Going to Outer Banks, NC

    Next weekend I will be flying down to the Outer Banks. I will be staying in Corolla which is north of Duck and basically the northernmost town on the island. I have the choice of two airports, Currituck County Regional (ONX) or Dare County Regional (MQI). I know both are decent picks. I know...

    Tire Pressure in a PA32

    My POH for a PA32R-301 says to put 35 psi in the nose and 38 psi in the mains. I recently had a flat and when the mechanic changed the tube he recommended 42 psi in the nose and said go a little firmer in the mains like 45 psi. I asked a second mechanic who recommended going about 5 psi above...

    Piper Air

    Well maybe not really Piper Air at this point. Does anyone know how to charge Freon in this system? It has undergone a conversion to the R-134 conversion. The door system has just been rewired, and the rest of the piping was extensively redone about 3 years ago. The system should be good...

    Flying out of Robbinsville tomorrow (N87)

    I know N87 has a keyhole to avoid the Trump TFR. I was planning on filing IFR, and the usual initial point is the Robbinsville VOR, also technically outside the TFR. But, from n87 to the VOR puts you briefly through the TFR. If I file should I.... 1. File normally since IFR it is permitted...

    Small amount of water in one tank.

    I consistantly get some water in the right tank if the plane (PA32R) is outside during heavy rainfall, maybe 1/2 to 1 oz. Never more than that. It always is easy to drown off, and is always just in the wing, never in the belly sump. Plane has always flown just fine after draining. At annual I...

    I am flying from NJ to Pittsburgh on Saturday morning and likely staying overnight Saturday. I was likely going to use Allegheny County Airport (KAGC). any suggestions or advice for this airport? Other airports close to the city would also be considered. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

    Need a DPE NJ area

    Title basically says it all. The DPE I used for my private has a several month wait-list, and have tried a few other names in the area, and have not gotten a response. I am one maybe two lessons away from getting signed off for my IFR test, and have several trips planned this summer I really...

    Hot starting io-540

    I know this basic topic has been done before, and I have read everyone of them. The io-540 on my PA32 will basically not hot start. I have tried multiple hot start protocols, basically every method I have found. I have had multiple knowledgable people try their methods, but basically nobody...

    Duats terminating

    Just got the email that duats is going away. I apologize if this has been asked already, but what website and what links will be the best for filing IFR going forward. Especially using programs like Foreflight?

    Install time of a JPI 830 vs a JPI 900.

    I am thinking of putting in a new engine monitor and basically have it down to these two (the 930 is much harder to fit on the panel). I know the 900 is roughly 2 K more for the unit, and is designed as a primary flight device, which is attractive to me. But I am not sure I " need" the 900, and...

    Battery Woes

    So the battery in my plane died Saturday. I went to flip on the main during preflight and nothing happened. This was a relatively new Gill G-35 that was replaced in 6/2017 when I had a catastrophic failure of a 3 1/2 year old Concord battery in the middle of an IFR training flight when I...

    Garmin GAD 43 with legacy autopiolots.

    Just to clarify exactly what the GAD 43 is doing with older autopilots that used to require the vacuum driven AI for operation. This unit basicallly allows to AHARS to have the same function that the traditional AI used to perform, correct? Others than feeding converted digital to analog...
